FPGA Replay Board

[espskog]

Maybe someone wants to buy my board (in a black mini itx case) -- all working and very cool ...do I hear ...hmm...€300 ? )))))))

..or maybe someone rather like a rare MiniMig -- the special and very rare ITX V2 version which has svideo/composite tv-out plus remade power regulator and faster memory. Everything in a sexy little white Amiga colored 17x17 cabinet with all ports available from the back.

does it include ie fpga replay board daughterboard?

what price you want for minimig itx?

You can connect another FPGA to the expansion port. The base FPGA is wired directly to the expansion port (no FSB).
(So picasso96 etc.. could be implemented)

Asfaik, lest mikej says something else.

The Spartan FPGA on the Replay is larger than the minimig... wonder if there would be enough room to do a picasso96 card in there as well.... maybe make it share the buffer with the delacer so they could overlay each other on screen.

There's a lot of room. The FPGA is four times as big. And an RTG card is in the works.

... The end of the world must be approacing fast ...... With all this gorgeous Amiga hardware on the way :-( Its an EEEEND TTTIMME SIGGN I tell ya ...... :-P

JimS, I was referring to implementing another RTG in a FPGA daughterboard. Maybe soft-68060 is doable as well

A cool thing would be multiple video output RTG card. Like running 8 monitors from the same Amiga..

Wow that is indeed some awesome news!!! Can't wait for it. Keep up surprising us guys! \o/

Cool. Thanks for the update. Kudos to you and MikeJ for a job well done.. ;-)

@yaqube if mikej got some boards in july ready. are your boards going to be ready at same time or there abouts?

Ah.... well, there's already a soft 030 in there right... so why not an '060 ;-)

How about doing a Toaster stub so that those of us with a Toaster in our real Amigas could run Lightwave and render to a simulated Toaster frame buffer? ;-)  Lots of wacky ideas out there. ;-)

There is no chance to have them available at the same time. Maybe they will be ready for purchase by the end of the year.

[digiflip]

ok cool, Ill probably have the cash saved up by the time there ready then. lol

I'm thinking a PCI-E x1 or x4 interface would be nice.  Shouldn't be impossible to implement on a daughtercard.  Opens up myriad possibilities for expansion and interconnect.

I don't think we all realize just what mikej has on his hands here.  The idea now that we can have a compact computer that can mimic nearly any computer that preceded it, and indeed enable the resurrection of such platforms as viable consumer products, even for novelty's sake, is simply amazing.  For sure he isn't the first to come up with the idea, but the implementation of this board configuration with its expansion bus and virtually all needed connectors to coexist in the current device arena is just what such a product needs to become something people want for Christmas - especially budget-minded nostalgia-addled middle aged men like myself  CUSA can offer a cheap PC-based emulator stuffed in an impressively made case, but he can offer a single-board compact solution that behaves faithfully like any old PC (generic term implied) in a box smaller than a mac mini.

I know this will raise some hackles, but I personally would love to run Android on it.  If it'll run Linux it'll happen. It has an ARM core.  Why not?

I see 4 SDRAM on the replay expansion board v1.0

4 SDRAM = How many Mb ??
